You Are Free To Heal
I have walked this path of silent tears for too long, and now, my life is a story of overcoming, growing resilient, losing my voicelessness, and speaking out. The hard part was not escaping the poverty, the projects, or the violence. The hard part was facing the past, the pain, the fear. Everyone, abuse victim or not, has a wound to heal, whether internally or in a loved one. Join me in learning how to move from broken to resilient. We are free to heal ourselves. We are free to heal others.

“Abuse distorts our vision; it keeps us from seeing clearly. Once we begin to deal with it, we start to see ourselves. Then we have two people to forgive: our abuser for their abuse and ourselves for not knowing what to do. I’ve been abused. I’ve abused others. After all these years, I’m still forgiving both.”
-Dr. Shree Walker, Secret Keeper
Testimonials
“This book caused to me to look in the mirror and examine the person who returned my glares. I had to put the book down on several occasions because maybe things hit closer to home than I intended or maybe my heart just wasn’t ready to empathize with the trauma and the resulted healing. This piece serves as a reminder that the race is never complete. We are all in a constant state of repair and rejuvenation.”
-Robyn Dismukes, Amazon.com Book Review
“I cussed, I yelled, I almost threw the book; I rejoiced. I had a full bag of emotions during this read and stayed up until 4:30am to finish it with one hand clutching my dog and the other clutching myself. A lot of times when I’m reading books I have to skip ahead to the end to make sure everything’s going to be okay then come back to the conflicts in the middle. With Shree’s story, we are reminded along the way that it is going to be okay, so even when deep into the abuse, we know restoration is coming if we keep pushing through with her to the end. The writing style invites you into the innermost depths of her life in an intimate way. A book of facts from her life somehow reads like poetry, weaving her life together like a frayed satin ribbon.”
-Rob C., Amazon.com Book Review
“I read your book. Amazing life that you have experienced to date. Provides an eye-opening perspective to spoiled folks like me. And well written, including the walking-variations thematic organization. The only part that didn't resonate with me, but it's just a matter of personal experience and values, is the religious aspect. Although it's obvious that you have an understandable and admirable spirituality, and that Christianity has been your, pardon the expression, saving grace, I have seen too many dark sides of religiosity to share that solution. In any event, it's a good book, which I've given to a member of our special ed faculty whom I thought would appreciate its content and writing, and you are a shining example of resiliency and the human spirit.”

“Congratulations on writing such an amazing book, but more importantly your courage is unreal. For you to open yourself up like this truly speaks to your evolution and recovery, and although I do not know you that well, I am so proud of you. I know you are telling the truth, but I also believe every word you wrote. What I mean is, I believe you like I’ve known you all my life, like I was there or had knowledge of many of your stories. I recognize that so many children are living your abuse and life every day. Many of my students are living your abuse and life, and your writing brings it to life for all readers. It is simply fantastic. From the awesome title to the outstanding words you use to move your reader. Finally, this book blessed my life. It shows me that there is redemption and happiness after so much abuse and pain. Although I’m sorry that you endured all that, I am overly excited that you allowed God to change your life.”
-Michael
“This is a powerful memoir. Knowing Dr. Walker personally since middle school, I am amazed at what was going on in her personal life that I didn’t know about when she was going through it. I’ve nothing but admiration knowing all that she overcame. She is a powerful reminder of what resilience looks like… it’s not linear and it is not pretty. Her raw honesty captures the reader’s attention immediately.”
